My next car is

I love watching Modern Marvels and all the other great shows on History and Discovery Channels.

Amazing - and a unique car to drive around.
Anna, did we get that US Government economic stimulus check yet?
This is available, but I can’t find a copy of the first car Anna and I bought together, a 1990 Signature Series [...]

AVIS incentives into the trash bin

Here is another one, expired and being thrown away. I don’t understand why the folks at AVIS thinks that this even compares to the points I get from Hertz in any way? There is just no flexibility int his program, you have to call and beg the local offices to work with you. And at [...]

AVIS Coupon goes to waste

Another AVIS coupon gets tossed into the trash bucket. My major problem with AVIS is they give you coupons for money off or two days off a weekend rental. They are literally not worth anything to me. I travel every week, and these coupons get me a car on the weekends. And they expire.
How often [...]

AVIS free weekend coupon in the trash

ARGH, here is another coupon getting trashed. These coupons have been used for week trips up and down I-95, but the problems and limitations make them virtually worthless. Want to rent a car on Monday for a weeks vacation? Nope, of no value. AVIS wants to thank me for my constant business, why do they [...]

Nice upgrade from Hertz this week

After weeks of daily rentals, I finally got upgraded to the Hertz Presidents Circle. And on my first trip to Minneapolis, I was upgraded to this Volvo wagon. Fully loaded with push button start, leather, SIRIUS, and GPS.
Now for a first time upgrade, this is a great car.
And on the best part - I have [...]

2008 Ford Focus review - Hertz Five Star Club

Yes, I know, I am missing a new rental car from yesterday. I don’t the safe route and did not drive to the airport in a winter storm just to get an extra rental day for my run for Hertz President’s Club level at 40 rental agreements. Sanity over frequent flyer programs and common sense [...]

2007 Kia Rondo FWD review - Hertz Five Star Club

Today I dropped off a Ford Mustang, made a joke about not wanting one today with the weather forecast. And I walk over and find myself upgraded to - another Ford Mustang. I felt the love on Monday. Winter storm warnings and a Mustang upgrade - I feel no love. So into the desk to [...]

2007 Ford Mustang review

Another nice upgrade thanks to the Hertz Five Star Club on my account. Only another 20 rentals to go and it will be President’s Circle Club. Now this Mustang reminds me of my owning one of these from 1985 to probably 1990 when I moved into a Lincoln Continental. Brighid really liked the Mustang as [...]

2007 Ford Explorer from Hertz review

Today was a very nice upgrade from the Ford Fusion or Kia I rent - in otherwords, the cheapest thing on the list. Today I got a 2007 Ford Explorer with only 8,525 miles on it. And the exterior condition was nice. I have not driven an Explorer in years. It was a very nice [...]

Toyota from Hertz

Another Toyota Corolla, this time without leather seating, but they added a GPS systems - Hertz Never Lost. Of course, not only do I not need GPS, I drive the same route every day, I have GPS in my cell phone. But hey, we take the upgrades as we get them, and thank the staff [...]
